Black Forest

Black Forest is my favour cake. It is a German famous dessert consists of several layers of chocolate cake, with whipped cream and cherries between each layer. Traditionally, Kirschwasser (a clear cherry brandy made from the small, sour Morello cherry which has a dark red skin) is added to the cake in Europe. However, because of the 'Halal" purpose, Black Forest cake is most often prepared without alcohol in Malaysia.

By the way, actually make a Black Forest cake most important is the cherry filling. The filling have to cook it until thick but not too over. Actually, most of the Black Forest cake in market does not cooked. Beside that, fresh frozen cherry is more tasty then the can cherry. Morello cherry is use to cook the filling, and the red cherry which decorated on top of the cake is maraschino cherry.
